Reception
The PlayStation version of Rollcage received "favorable" reviews, while the PC version received "average" reviews, according to the review aggregation website GameRankings. Next Generation said of the former console version, "Anyone with a hankering for fast cars and pretty explosions should be sure to give Rollcage a chance." Joshua Romero of AllGame gave the PC version four-and-a-half stars out of five, saying, "If you have a 3D accelerator and have any taking to a great game, you shouldn't pass up Rollcage. True, PC players don't have the convenience that console players have and can rent the game, but Rollcage is worth the cash, no matter what system." He also gave the PlayStation version four stars, saying, "If you're into futuristic auto-combat/racing games and looking for something aside from Wipeout, give Rollcage a try. I'm guessing you won't be disappointed."
